Weblog

A weblog or blog, is a listing of text, images, or other objects that are arranged in a chronological order that first started appearing in 1998. Blogs are often maintained and run by a single individual, updated daily, or contain random personal remarks about a topic, a personal ramble, an update on the person's life or their current feelings. In many ways, many weblogs are like a personal journal, diary or a look into another individual's life and can be a great way to learn about people, events, places, and much more from millions of people around the world.

Some examples of software and services that users use to create and start their own weblogs are Blogger, Manila, Movable Type, MySpace, LiveJournal, Radio Userland, TypePad, WordPress.
